My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 355: Face Swapped
Lu Yaoyao nestled in his arms, thinking about the contents of the letter and the clues she had found over the past few days, and she suddenly realized something.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense! My life was swapped, which is very likely that my life was given to Jiang Ruyan."

"Now that my appearance has returned, Jiang Ruyan has revealed her original ugly face. The Jiang family is anxious, which is why they want me to return to the Duke's Mansion."

“I was only one year old when my life was exchanged, and at that time, the Duchess of Jiang was already pregnant with Jiang Ruyan.”

The art of exchanging lives can be performed while the child is still in the mother's womb.

If you calculate their ages, Jiang Ruyan is indeed only two years younger than her.

Jiang Ruyan is still unmarried.

In this world, it's rare for a woman to remain unmarried into her twenties, so Jiang Ruyan's unmarried status is quite unusual.

Then there are women like her, who used to be very ugly, and no one wanted to marry them, so they would also become old maids.

It is said that Jiang Ruyan, having gained her beauty and the favor of Master Yunjian, became very arrogant and refused to marry anyone but a member of the royal family.

Now that he's lost his looks, it's no wonder he's anxious.

Su Zui held her hand and drew circles in her palm. "You're right! It must have been you who gave your life to Jiang Ruyan."

"I've met Jiang Wanlin and his wife. Neither of them is bad-looking. Why did you look like that before your life was switched?"

Lu Yaoyao used to be really ugly, indescribably ugly.

I always felt that her facial features were all different and quite disproportionate.

He had never seen Jiang Ruyan before, so he didn't know what she looked like now.

Is it really that ugly?

Lu Yaoyao scoffed, "There's something called face-changing technology in this world. Just because Jiang Wanlin isn't ugly doesn't mean that Madam Jiang isn't unattractive. Sometimes, looks are hereditary. Women inherit from their mothers, and men inherit from their fathers. Have you ever met Jiang Jinrui? Do you think he looks like Madam Jiang?"

Genes are a powerful thing; even plastic surgery can't change ugly genes.

Lu Yaoyao had seen her ugly self before; she was so ugly that it was outrageous that even gods and men couldn't bear to look at her face.

If Jiang Ruyan were to become like that now, it would be truly gratifying.

Su Zui thought about it and said, "What you say is really true! Jiang Jinrui really doesn't look like Madam Jiang at all, and he's much uglier than Jiang Wanlin."

She had seen what Madam Jiang looked like before. Although she was old now, she was not ugly and could be considered a pretty girl from a modest family.

But the son she gave birth to didn't resemble her at all.

Her son doesn't resemble Jiang Wanlin at all; he's much uglier than Jiang Wanlin.

It's likely that he inherited some of his mother's unattractive genes.

"That's right! That woman might have been ugly to begin with, and got her good looks through plastic surgery. She saw that I was good-looking when I was a child and had a noble destiny, so she thought of having her daughter change my fate."

Lu Yaoyao felt that her guess was pretty accurate.

But who is this woman?
Why did her biological father entrust her to that woman?

Later, she was raised by her father, Lu Zhannian. What was the relationship between them?
And what about her mother?

Did her mother also die at the border along with her father?

The more questions piled up, the more confused she became.

Only by absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dao could I open the second layer of the Five Elements Technique in this world. If only I could open another layer of the Five Elements Technique.

By activating the three layers of the Five Elements Technique, she can briefly open her Divine Eyes and see things from the past.

Su Zui felt sorry for her ordeal and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Yaoyao, no matter what, you still have me."

Lu Yaoyao was lost in her own thoughts, and the room fell silent.

Unbeknownst to her, Lu Yaoyao fell asleep in his arms.

Su Zui picked her up, carefully placed her on the bed, covered her with the blanket, and then went out.

Qiu Feng saw him and cupped his hands in greeting, "Master, those people have been dealt with. Only a coachman and that old woman were left behind. They were sent back to report the news."

Su Zui had somehow acquired a string of Buddhist prayer beads, which she twirled in her hand. "Hmm, that's good! The Jiang State Duke's Mansion has been living too comfortably these past few years. Let's give them something to do. Perhaps what we're investigating is related to them."

"Don't they care about Jiang Ruyan? Then let's bestow her upon Marquis Wu'an!"

The Duke of Jiang's mansion is excellent!

To harm his Yaoyao for Jiang Ruyan's sake is absolutely intolerable. Qiu Feng's eye twitched. "Yes! I will immediately send a message to the King."

Who did the Duke of Jiang's family have to offend?

How dare they offend the lady and force Jiang Ruyan to marry the Marquis of Wu'an? This is the greatest humiliation for her.

Who is Marquis Wu'an?
He is a pervert who enjoys abusing women, especially in bed.

Several of the wives of the Marquis of Wu'an were tortured to death by him in this way.

If Jiang Ruyan were to be betrothed to Marquis Wu'an, she would likely live a life worse than death.

Lu Yaoyao woke up again the next day at noon.

"Since we're going to the capital sooner or later, let's set off!"

After washing up, Lu Yaoyao decided to set off.

It's currently March, and it will take at least a month to get to the capital. By the time we arrive, the weather will be warm.

Some people need to be dealt with.

"Are you really planning to leave today?" Su Zui asked, bringing in a bowl of porridge.

Lu Yaoyao got up and went to the table, picked up the porridge and drank it. "That's right! There's nothing to do here, so we might as well go to the capital soon."

All her enemies are in Chang'an; that's where her battlefield lies.

"Alright! I'll arrange the carriage as soon as possible." Su Zui called Qiu Feng over and told him to prepare.

After finishing her porridge, Lu Yaoyao took some things and delivered them to the village chief's house.

When the village chief heard that she had been granted the title of princess, his whole family was overjoyed for her.

"Girl, don't worry, I'll take good care of things at home," the village chief thought to himself.

Who would have thought that Lu Yaoyao is now a princess?

"Here are the house keys, please take care of them, Uncle Village Chief."

This ancestral home was left to her by her father, and she can't let it fall into disrepair. It would be good to have someone help her look after it.

The village chief took the keys. "Don't worry, I'll clean it regularly. We'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay." Lu Yaoyao turned and left.

Then we went to Uncle Qi's house.

“Brother Ting, I’m leaving now. These are the things I’m leaving for you. I know you don’t want to study, you just want to be a general. With these things, you will be a great general. I’ll wait for the day you become a general.”

Ting-ge is a smart kid, he could easily become the top scholar in the imperial examination, but he just loves to fight on the battlefield.

Then she would train him to become a young general skilled in both literature and martial arts.

Holding the things in his hands, tears streamed down his face. "Sister Yaoyao, wait for me. I will definitely become a general, and then I will come to find you."

Lu Yaoyao wiped the tears from his face. "Okay! I'll wait for you to come find me."

She touched his smooth hair, then turned and left.

The carriage swayed along the foot of the mountain and saw a group of people standing at the crossroads at the village entrance.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the goddess!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the goddess!"

May the goddess have a safe journey!

The village chief led the way, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed.

Their village owes its current prosperity entirely to her efforts.

Now that she is leaving the village, the whole village has come to see her off.

Lu Yaoyao did not linger, and the carriage gradually drove away.

She didn't like these farewell scenes.
